Probably everyone is like this. When you look back at the road you have traveled, you will feel absurd, thinking about how good it would be if it was not like that, so that precious youthful time would not be lost in vain. It is useless to sigh, as Shan Cao said before his death: "No one can occupy his youth."
When we are young, probably not much of what we do is really meaningful. The excessive secretion of hormones often makes our body and mind too hot: David got Elena, but lost a leg and became disabled; Elena became a good wife, but the passion of youth is no longer there, and life is only a day after day. A dull repetition of a day; Shan Cao beat Dawei, but still failed to win Kara's heart; Kara is completely the image of a resentful woman, and the only thing she can do every day is to wash her face in tears and want to divorce Shan Cao There are no doors. Perhaps only the handsome young man Victor was lucky. Although he was in prison, he got some salvation in body and soul through exercise, learning craftsmanship and the Bible. But he was only a little bit better. If he hadn't been so impulsive to entangle that night's romance with Elena, how could he have been in the cell?
It is a coincidence that Yutuo's idea of revenge was born. He didn't expect to meet Elena at the cemetery to pay his respects to his mother, nor did he expect that an encounter with Kara would make this woman fall in love with him completely. Perhaps this is in line with the "unintended consequences" - its adolescence as those events, the time is ripe or not is not important, "he thought going to do!"
Domain Tuo is actually a very simple young man, because his motives It's very simple, I just want Elena to regret not choosing him as a great guy. In contrast, Dawei and Shancao are much more insidious - Dawei secretly took pictures of Yutuo and Kara's intimacy, in order to make Shancao and Yutuo fight to the death, so that he not only reported that six years ago. A single bullet will also make Elena stay obediently by her side; and Shan Cao's insidiousness is manifested in his use of Yutuo's hand to shoot Dawei.
Insidious is insidious, I have to say that it is all because of love. Love can make a person go mad or even insane to the point of collapse and death. Didn’t Lao Wa’s other works also say such a thing: In “All About My Mother”, Etban didn’t die because of mad love for Hama and chasing Hama. ? Didn't the perverted man in "Slut Jika" shoot videotape and use binoculars to spy on her because of Love Jika? Isn't the series of crazy actions made by the daughter in "High Heels" also because of her deep love for her mother? Of course, it's not all love, but it's still love. Think back to Hong Kong years ago, wasn't there a movie called "Love You To Kill You"?
But such fanatical love can only belong to the "age of youth". If you just talk with passion, sooner or later, the two will get bored or even collapse. The final love should be like the end of this movie: Victor and Elena got married and lived a dull but happy life. How meaningful the last scene is: Elena and Victor's mother suddenly came in late at night 26 years ago, and had to rush to the hospital with a big belly and pain. But at this moment, Elena is accompanied by Yu Tuo, who loves her deeply, but Yu Tuo has never known who her father is. Madrid in the 1990s was also much more stable and prosperous than in 1970. It was waiting for a little life to cry in the middle of the night, and I wanted to listen to whether it was the same cry of Victor 26 years ago!
